2025 was the year audiobooks took over my reading life. Surgery recovery led me to listening, and it never stopped. I’ve listened to more books than I’ve read, DNF’d a few, and finally admit audiobooks are for me. kayaburgin.com/why-2025-bec...

Why 2025 Became My Year of Audiobooks | OMG! Kaya Reads

Now that Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ is available to stream digitally — and in Black American Sign Language — it is a good time for those of us that might have missed certain nuances to return to one of 2025’s best-reviewed films and see what sticks out on a second (or fiftieth) viewing.

Libraries are one of the rare places children have CHOICE without gatekeepers saying “aren’t you too old for that”/“how about a PROPER book” etc. Choice drives reading for pleasure. If we truly care about reading for pleasure, we have to protect our libraries.
